      Pros

      technology, people, worldwide travel and presence. Diversity

      unfortunately, oil seems to be found in the crappiest places, i.e. middle east, houston, nigeria, etc...

      Great company for the short term

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Large, global company -Industry leader in services, quality and size -Can perform jobs in locations, at depths, and conditions that other companies simply cannot -Entry level and first several years of promotions are part of a fixed step path -In the same sense, very good company to start your career with. Excellent training programs. -Always hiring! (for a reason) -Very friendly towards women and minorities -Accommodating towards dual SLB couples (must be married/legally joined) -Expect to move around a lot if you are willing, otherwise you will just stay where you are

      Cons

      -Long history of bleeding talent that eventually goes to work for the competition -Work/Life balance - varies per group -Politics rule promotions above management level. Executives are usually hand picked early in their career (6-10 years), so you know by then where you are headed -Shooting ourselves in the foot with excessive policies. Every time there is an incident, our solution is another checklist, and it has gotten to the point where we have a couple of initiatives to reduce this paperwork. -Company need is always first. You put Norway, Indonesia, and Italy in your preferences? How about Sudan? Sudan it is! -HR can be a very strong enabler... or not (common in any company)

      A big corporate with its own inefficiencies

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good benefits, smart people to work with, you get to move into different positions (though subjective)

      Cons

      Lot of management layers, unstable as there are a lot of lay-offs due to the fluctuations in the oil prices
